Hawthorne Books

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hawthorne Books is a literary press located in Portland, Oregon. It was founded by Rhonda Hughes and Kate Sage in 2001.

The press publishes literary fiction and nonfiction titles. It also reissues award-winning out of print books by living American writers, repackaging those titles with new introductions by notable writers. Some examples from this series are: Leaving Brooklyn by Lynne Sharon Schwartz, introduction by Ursula Hegi, Soldiers in Hiding by Richard Wiley, introduction by Nobel Prize-winner Wole Soyinka, and Tom Spanbauer's Faraway Places, introduction by AM Homes.

One of Hawthorne Books' publications, Monica Drake's debut novel Clown Girl, was named as a best book of the year by Chuck Palahniuk in the January 2008 issue of Playboy Magazine. The book is also a finalist for a 2007 Oregon Book Award.
